EDGE Analysis

This is the first timeline that's been disclosed during MacArthur's lengthy recovery from a concussion. It's certainly possible the winger is out for longer and he's yet to receive medical clearance. While he may be a contributor at one point this season, owners don't need to scramble to pick up the 31-year-old.
